A crushing weight on my chest
A hollow ache in my soul
There's a darkness inside
About to swallow me whole
The tears seem choke me
As I try to hold them in
But they keep sneaking out
Burning trails down my skin
A sorrow I can't describe
A melancholy grief
Constantly squeeze my fragile heart
With no hope for relief
Memories haunt me day by day
Sleep refuses to descend
The light fades quickly now
I've waited for this...The End

Don't give up
Don't give in
Too many battles yet to win.
I feel so frail
Full of fear
Wishing I could disappear.
I want to love
I need to live
But I don't have the strength to give.
Coward I am
Courage I lack
I hate myself, I hate this fact.
So I gave up
And I gave in
As desolation settled right in.
The battle was lost
The bruises run deep
Now I'll fade into eternal sleep.

I am Mist floating in the netherworld
The shadow of my heart haunts my memories.
A transparent soul lacking substance
Wafting in the tides of my turbulent mind.
The hollow shell of my body
Tosses and tumbles about in a whirlwind.
The reality of my dream life
Fades into the obscurity of annihilation.

Caught in the act, trapped in the fact
I made my bed now I have to lie in it.
I wanted to win, but it was a sin
Now I have to confess to it.
Like a shooting star, I fell so far
In the tick of a clock I was in too deep.
Now I've been stained, I just feel drained
I've made too many secrets to keep.
"Let me out!" I wanted to shout
But there was nobody around to hear
And even if they did, I was no longer a kid
I've tightened my own noose I fear
This was it, I'm afraid to admit
I can no longer count the sins I've made.
I lie in wait, for a terrible fate
It wont take long for my existence to fade.

The lies choke me,
constricting my throat with their icy tentacles.
Vines riddled with thorns,
twist and scrape inside my airway.
Blood running down my trachea
pools in my lungs,
Each burbling breath
a disturbing reminder of the webs I've woven.

The father is the trunk standing tall and firm
Showing conviction to the young, by his example they learn.
His roots seek nourishment, he never stops to rest
His family wants for nothing because he gives his best.
He patiently endures, and meets all demands
His strength is impressive, mighty and grand.
The mother is the branches stretching her arms to hold her child
Firm and flexible, strong and mild.
Her leaves of protection give shelter from the rain
That are the tears of rejection, injustice and pain.
Her pearls of wisdom are like ripening fruit
Sweetly teaching in her great repute
This family tree gets taken for granted
So many children grow up empty handed
Even though at times they may all disagree
There is nothing more essential than the family tree.

Swirling colors dancing flames
Bring this monochrome world to shame
A rainbows arc crowning the earth
A shimmering sight proving its worth
The songs of whales echo in the deep
And the howls of a wolf grace my sleep
They are music most pure, in a world gone mute
They are so hauntingly absolute
Winters death gives way to spring
And all the flowers it does bring
The summers rays warms us all
Then cools us down with the breeze of fall
Morning grass glistens with dew
Reflecting colors of every hue
There is beauty in life, if you care to see
Just open your eyes and heart to thee

I miss your smile
I miss your laugh
Thinking about it
Takes me back
To a time less lonely
Without this pain
A time free
From all this shame
I wish I had said
I wish I had done
Too many wishes
Left undone
How many times
Can one heart break
How many regrets
Can one heart take
I'm empty inside
That is the truth
But how can I learn
To not miss you

Too many waves
Too much commotion
Too many thoughts
And too much emotion
Back and forth, up and down
The world is rocking, I think I'll drown
I'm losing touch, I can't commit
I can't help it, I'm sea sick.
Too many people
Not enough air
I'm a prisoner
Tied to this chair
Too fast, too slow, side to side
No privacy on this stifling ride
I'm losing my mind bit by bit
I can't help it, I'm car sick
Slow me down, silence the storm
Its 40 below yet I'm still too warm
Too much chaos I can't breathe
I retreat inside, cuz I can't leave
Shattered glass, bottled up tight
Too scared to quit, too tired to fight
Im losing this battle, I've lost my way
I'll lose my life, if I delay
This fear inside is swallowing me whole
Will I ever calm my tormented soul?

When sleep eludes me
My mind bears its soul
To the guardian moon
Shining bright and whole
Tendrils of her light
Reach out to caress me
A silent witness
To my struggle for serenity
When the darkness calls like a siren
And stokes the embers of my fears
The moons sweet embrace
Gently dries my tears
Weak she is not
Tho delicate she seems
She fights my loneliness
With her piercing beams
She patiently waits
For sleep to descend
forever standing guard
As my tireless friend
